Means will make his promotional debut Sept. 13 at
Legacy FC 23, when he squares off with Pete Spratt in
a welterweight bout at Cowboy Dance Hall in San Antonio, Texas.
Legacy officials informed Sherdog.com of the booking on Sunday,
while also announcing that Damacio Page
will face Ryan Benoit at
Legacy FC 24 on Oct. 11 in Dallas.

A former multi-division King of the Cage champion, Means suffered
his second consecutive defeat inside the Octagon at UFC on Fox 8,
dropping a unanimous verdict to Team Alpha Male product Danny
Castillo. “The Dirty Bird” took the fight on short notice and
missed the contracted lightweight limit by four pounds at
weigh-ins, perhaps hastening his departure from the Las Vegas-based
promotion.

Means began his UFC career with victories over Bernardo
Magalhaes and Justin Salas
before falling to Jorge
Masvidal in April. The FIT-NHB representative announced on his
Twitter account that he plans to make a permanent move to
welterweight after competing exclusively at 155 pounds in the
UFC.

A veteran of 47 professional fights, Spratt will be making his
fourth Legacy FC appearance. Most recently, “The Secret Weapon”
lost a unanimous decision to Dan
Hornbuckle at Legacy FC 17 in February.

After enduring a four-fight skid in the WEC and UFC, Page righted
his ship at Legacy FC 20, scoring a first-round knockout of
Patrick
Ybarra on May 31. It was the Jackson’s MMA product’s first
victory since 2009. Benoit, meanwhile, is 6-2 as a professional
with five knockouts and one submission to his credit. In his last
outing, he dropped a three-round verdict against Anthony
Birchak at MFC 37.
